A complaint can be informal, and made to a friend, a colleague, etc. or it can be filed or lodged more formally, often in writing, to a company or organization. A grievance is a strong feeling that sth is unfair or that you have been treated unfairly. It is often a feeling which has developed over a period of time. We often say that a person harbours or nurses a grievance: they develop strong negative feelings about sth over a period of time. * complaint含義很廣,可指嚴重或輕微的問題,客觀存在的問題或個人對某事物的不滿。make a complaint指非正式地向朋友、同事等抱怨,file/lodge a complaint指更爲正式地、常以書面形式向公司或機構投訴。grievance指對不公平的事或不公正待遇的強烈不滿,而這種不滿通常已累積了一段時間。常用harbour/nurse a grievance,指某人對某事物強烈的不滿情緒已經醞釀一段時間。■gripe [countable] (informal) something that you complain about because you are not satisfied, especially sth small or not very important(尤指針對小事的)抱怨,牢騷◆My only gripe about the hotel was the food.我對這家旅館唯一不滿的是所提供的食物。
